PROHIBITION does prohibit In Kan
sas and we hear almost every day cv-
idence of it. A few days ago the
Volksblatt published telegraphic or
der from Kansas City to Dallas deal
err for three gallons of whisky by ex-
press. Tho Volksblatt thought that
was an argument against the amend
ment; but the HERALD reproduced the
telegram as an evidence that prohibi-
ton does prohibit there; else why
didn't the Kansas man buy his whisky
from some Kansas dealer. We now
have before us st. Louis journal
with strong letter declaring that the
new Murray bill had most eflcctually
wiped out the saloon drug stores. A
Topeka druggist says that the little to
be made on sales by no means compen-
safe them for the fines and risk of i'm
prisonment, and that even the more
daring Of the drug stores will soon re-
alize this. lie says: "There are not
many who like to run the risk OF per-
turing themselves to get drink Of
whisky, Tor to sell iD. They might do
60 once or twice, but to continue in
this way I light along is more than the
average human nature can stand. "
Prohibition does not only prohibit III
Kansas. but it has been the most influ-
iential factor in placing that State III
the lead as the most moral, law 'abid-
ing and prosperous of all the Western
States. Its prosperity since prohibit
ton was enforced has been 200 per
cent. greater than before, and its
growth in railroads, population,
wealth and agricultural prosperity
has been 100 per cent. moro than any
other State. The ants may talk about
Republican Texas and attempt to
prejudice Texans against prohibition
on sectional or political grounds, but
their efforts will fail. Prohibition is
of Southern origin, was first intro
duced in Virginia when a colony in
1870, has been adopted in more Demo-
cratic than Republican States, and on
February 81, 1777, the congress OF the
United States by unanimous vote
recommended to the States to stop the
distillation of intoxicating liquors.
But while this is true as to its origin,
prohibition is made 10 worse for its
adoption and enforcement in Kansas
1t will do as much for Texas and Tex
ans as it has done for that much
favored State and prosperous people.

The New Party's Platform.

PHILADELPHIA, September 19.-The
platform Of the American party as adopted
declares that the present immigration law
relating to foreigners is detrimental to all
states and territories. 1t demands that
lands shall be reserved for American
citizens, non-residents aliens to be debarr-
ed from ownership in real estate aud resi-
dent aliens holdings to be limited in area
and value. The platform also condemns
the donation OF lands to private corpora
tions and says the surplus in the treasury
should be released TO the people by a
judicious system of international i'm
provements. the construction of tortifics-
lions and the building up of the navy.
The platform demands freedom of relig-
ious Worship and belief as essential to the
welfare If the United States and calls for
the establishment of a department Of i'm
migration, the head of which shall be a
member of the cabinet. The party also
calls for revision of the naturalization
laws, making a continued residence of
fourteen years an indispensable require
ment for citizenship and excluding all
socialists, niEillists, anarchists and pau
pers. The platform also recommends
free compulsory education.

Tunneling the Sierras.

1t is as sur as the rising and setting of
the sun that a tunnel W Il eventually be
pushed through the Sierra Nevada noun
tains on the line of the Central Pacific.
Such a tunnel has long been talked of
and the project of constructing it is by no
niean dead. In the recent investigation
of railroad affairs by the United States
Commissioners l.. M. Clement, Chief En-
gineer, gave testimony favoring the con
struction of the tunnel. Being asked if
he had studied the subject of tunneling
the Sierra Nevada mountains in order to
avoid the present steep grades ami ex-
pensive s~now-sheds, he said: II have,
and it would be a good thing. 1t should
be large enough for a single track 36x16
feet. Then il could be used for hydraulic
purposes and water could be supplied
through it from lake Tahoe to the whole
state. The water could be run under the
track. The tunnel would be five miles
long. Its highest attitude would be 5000
feet, or 1000 feet below the present track.
1t would cost from d quarter of a million
to a MILL ndollars per mile Virginia

LOOKOUT FOR THE ENGINE.
supt. Egan Reports Further Pro-
gress in this Region-Trains
to be Here a Month
Hence.

Fort BENTON, September 16.- The
Rteef Press contains details of an inter
viW with Mr.. Jshn NJ. Egan, general sup
erintendent of the Manitoba line:
"Do you think the end of the track will
reach here by October II" asked Mr.
Conrad.
THAT is the date we now have fixed,
and | have assurance of Donald Grant
that it will be here on or before that date
and to Great Falls by the 18TH" replied
Mr.. Egan.
In a general way Mr.. Egan said: "Our
road has come into this country to get all
the business it can, and it is going to deal
fairly and honestly with every comInuni-
ty. We are going to win business by de-
serving it, and no individual or town will
have cause to complain of our treatment
or rates. We are going to settle your
country and do you more good than you
can at present realize. 1t is to the inter-
est OF the Manitoba to have the reserya-
ton thrown open, and nothing will be
left undone to secure that object at the
earliest possible moment"
wv hat time Will you put on regular
passenger trains to B~enton2r was asked.
Il think, without doubt, by the 10th of
October replied Mr.. Egan.
Regarding the Milk river coal, Mr..
Esan pronounced it in every way superior
to fine celebrated Lethbridge coal of the
Northwest Territory. There has already
been an incline driven in on one of the
veins some forty feet, and the coal inn
proved in quality every foot. The veins
are from fiy-to eight feet in width ana
are capped with sandstone-a most excel
lent Indication of true and permanent
mines. A stem will be put in from the
main track five miles to the scene of
operations. Steps have already been
axe to secure permission from the In
dians and the interior department to mine
the coal. Being askedlf he had seen the
veins at 24Mlie Springs, Mr.. Egan an
swered afhrmatively, but sail no develop
ments had been attempted there vet, ana
lie could not speak of the quality of the
coal, though similar conditions existed
and the quality seemed to be the same.
Of the Milk river valley. Mr.. Egan
spoke enthusiastically. He said he con
sidered it the garden of the northwest and
capable of supporting an immense popu-
lation. For wheat raising and diversified
farming he considered it far superior TO
lands further east.
Regarding the stock-yards at the Sandy,
he said the material fog them was already
this side of Minot, and the work of con
.structing them would be commenced inn
me,lately. In a few days his road would
be prepared TO receive cattle Or sheep at
that point in completed stock shipping
In the meantime If any stock |
came temporary shipping accommoda-
tons would be provided.

sued.

Alleged Injustice.

HELENA, September 17.-Much com
ment is made in army circles over the re-
cent retirement Of Lieutenant Thomas W.
Lord Of the Twentith infantry at Fort As
s~innaholne, on account of disability. He
had served for twenty-five years with an
a,~tIf,cial leg and during twelve years of
service he had been quartermaster of the
regiment. He was retired a few days be-
fore the retirement of Captain Fletcher.
They think Lieutenant Lord should have
been promoted to captaincv which would
have considerably increased his pay.
